The Parable Of The Growing Seed

[26] And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground; [27] And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how. [28] For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear. [29] But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.

It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth:

And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground;

And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables?

Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.

And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how.
